To execute constructive changes (add), destructive changes (subtract) or both using Copado Essentials, adhere to the following steps:
Navigate to the Deploy Options section of a Deployment.
Modify the Deploy Type picklist to either "Destructive" (for exclusive destructive changes) or "Standard Destructive" (for both standard and destructive changes).
3. Once you choose the deploy type as "Destructive", Essentials will warn you that you are about to do a destructive deployment:
4. Utilize the checkboxes in the Delete column to mark the components selected for deletion. Once the Deploy Type is selected, a "Delete" column will appear in the Add Component tab. Use the Delete column check boxes for destructive changes:
5. Proceed with the deployment. Copado Essentials will warn you that you are about to perform a destructive deployment and summarize the number of components that will be deleted.
In scenarios involving a Git repository, the metadata will be removed from the Git branch before applying changes to the org. After designating components for deletion from Git, commit the changes to the feature branch and generate a pull request to merge them into the main branch.
